I usually use this website to find companies' phone numbers: https://gethuman.com/phone-number/LastPass

It tells you that it is a credit monitoring service when you call, but it is indeed the password manager service....

800-830-6680 and then press 3 (the other 2 options disconnect you)

> It tells you that it is a credit monitoring service when you call, but it is indeed the password manager service

That actually sounds like it might be a business model (at least in places where the proletariat don't get too uppity). You run a password manager service and calculate data on people's password strengths and the number of duplicated password they use, and then feed this data to some sort of credit check system.

Even better, they can login to your bank accounts, amazon account, etc...

If they did, Amazon etc. would email you telling you they detected new logins from various IP addresses

Unless they have a contract with Lastpass that let's them profit from the data, that is.

If they had a contract, they wouldn't need your password.
